Hello,

I'm going to build my first gaming PC very soon, so I decided t compile a list. I am on a budget, but I would also want this computer to run new generation games smoothly :) I plan to overclock moderately, and upgrade as time goes by.

This is the list so far http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2u5ZP

Could all of you take a look at my list? I need to know if there is any way to reduce the cost, or boost performance for the money I'm going to spend.

Thank you!
Guato

Made a few changes, such as adding in a 4*2 gb kit ram for dual channel, added in the non le version of the motherboard since it has a heatsink on the vrm's and a cheaper but better monitor (faster response time) while still keeping the size the same, also added in windows 8.1 which was actually cheaper than the windows 8 you had

There you go........

Edit:

You could also add in a bigger power supply for some headroom in the future, though your current one would work perfectly fine with your setup, just a thought

Edit 2:

Just checked your post and I see you do plan on overclocking, you should really add a cooler, this ones really good, http://

Sorry I made a mistake with your ram, somehow I put a quad channel kit instead of dual, don't want to use all your slots now

Use this updated list:

And yes, your components will fit in that case. Any atx mid tower case is just fine

If you run your ram of one slot on your motherboard, it basically means that all the bandwidth goes towards that slot (eg. Single channel 1*8gb). Now if you have dual channel that means in your case 2*4gb kit the memory is shared amongst two slots meaning the bandwidth is also shared. Think of it this way, on a highway it would be better to have two lanes than one so that traffic flows more easily. Its kind off the same idea
